Where would you prefer shopping regardless of financial situation?
Saturday at 3:55 am
I would shop in the souvenir shops of the international airports. I would buy key chains with European airline logos. There were such souvenir shops in Japan in the 1980s, but I had problems when I was passing through: I only had Taiwan money which was not accepted at the money exchange office at the airport in Japan. I had a credit card from an American bank, but 1 souvenir shop would not accept it. The salesgirl asked me if I had U.S. dollars. I guess the amount for the key chains was too little for a charge with a foreign credit card.
Time has changed. Now there are kiosks that can engrave your image onto metal, so you can make your own key chains as long as you don’t violate copyrighted images. You can have your own artwork of the Air France logo engraved, but I actually went with Hawaiian Airlines instead.
Monday at 3:30 pm
In France too, If the amount of your purcharse is less than 15 or 20 Euros, you will have to pay cash.
I dont know the Hawaiian Airline logo but your story reminds me the time I was working for Airbus. After lunch at the cafeteria, I was passing by the shop and I wanted to buy some airplane scale models. I never did but some of them were really nice with the colours of the airline company…I loved the Jamaica one !
Careyxx, did you travel a lot ?

Edit: Sorry, it seems it is. It was a problem with my computer. By the way, is there any way to edit or delete the posts you make here?
Monday at 8:39 pm
Sorry Munia. For the time being, there’s no way to edit/delete comments.
Monday at 9:03 pm
No problem, Keith. I was just being curious.
Tuesday at 1:51 am
Hi Careyxx
I have another question for you:
if you traveled a lot, was it for business or pleasure?
I like to shop in the small family food store place. I’m a fervent of local economy support. Of course I like to spear my wallet and my taste buds too. So to satisfy both of them I also go shopping in markets where I can get more “European” produces & products…

Quand j’étais jeune, j’ai étudié le chinois à Taiwan en 1979 et en 1983, mais parce que je n’avais pas un visa d’étudiant, il fallait sortir du pays chaque 2 mois. Le plus moins chère destination de Taiwan était Hong Kong. Quand je suis rentré au mon pays cettes deux fois, j’ai fait des escales en avion au Japon. Les magasins de souvenirs dans les aeroports au Japon sont très bons.
I made my own artwork of the Hawaiian Airlines logo and had it engraved onto a metal keychain. Since the keychain is so small, I probably can’t get a good picture of it and make my avatar out of it. I guess I could make an avatar out of a picture of my artwork of the Hawaiian Airlines logo, but I would have to figure out how to change avatars for this site.
Tuesday at 6:57 pm
Careyxxx, Est ce ton logo que l’on voit sur ton avatar ? C’est une femme asiatique de profil. J’aime beaucoup les couleurs.
oui Angele, Le fromage c’est bon….
Wednesday at 1:24 am
Mince alors en 1979 j’avais 4 ans
…. je voyageais entre les bras de ma mère de mon père et sûrement mon frère…
Wednesday at 2:29 am
Talking about logo, if you were an animal, an object or a plant which would you be?
Thursday at 2:55 am
I am sure the Frenchpod101 staff is very young, so they all must be high-tech people with cell phones who are always in contact with friends. Do young French people send text messages with accent marks? How difficult is it?
Thursday at 11:37 am
Hi Careyxxx
but I IM, and do not use French accents (my key board doesn’t have them and it would be too long to use the short cut keys….it would take me a century to say hello….)
You’re quite right! The average age is around 30 or even lower!
However I don’t text
Céline help!
Friday at 3:19 pm
Oui ! j’arrive !!!
En France on envoie des SMS (ou textos) mais pas autant que nos amis japonais
Pour ce qui est des accents, avec un téléphone acheté en France, il est très facile d’écrire en Francais mais il faut savoir qu’un nouveau langage s’est crée, le language SMS, utilisant un système d’abréviation ou d’écriture phonétique pour raccourcir les mots et pour .. aller plus vite !
Cependant, à force de prendre l’habitude de l’écriture SMS, on en perd son français ! donc les jeunes ont tendance a ne plus savoir orthographier les mots et font d’énormes fautes de grammaire.
Exemples de mots en langage SMS:
jamé = jamais (never)
koi 2 9 ? = Quoi de neuf ? (What’s new? What’s up?)
slt = salut (Hi !?
Monday at 3:15 pm
Thanks for the explanation about French SMS. It looks interesting and easy to learn. Maybe if you people are still looking for even more things to add to this site, maybe we could have an SMS lesson based your actual conversations. We would learn French that is conversational and popular with young people. Take for example Christophe’s lesson about inviting friends over for crepes, the lesson could be a dialogue in SMS asking a friend if he wants to hang out and have crepes at Christophe’s place. The friend could ask what time and if he has to bring anything. Imagine how much French we could learn and imagine how fast. In the PDF you could have 3 columns with French SMS in the first column, standard French in the 2nd column, and English in the 3rd column.

Hi again Careyxxx
You are so resourceful! Thx for the suggestion!
We’ll add it in an extra lesson for next year 2009! Not too far from now!
Does anyone text? Who was the last person you text to? Ever got an unpleasant message? ads, plane cancellation maybe?
